A man's man, wears a lot of denim, tells long stories and has oatmeal saved from this morning.

No matter what you think of the player, you really hate to see that, hopefully he's off again soon.

Despite wearing out his welcome in Columbus, Torts has done some incredible things for that franchise. He went to a franchise which had made the playoffs in two of its 15 seasons, and with the exception of the year he took over an 0-8 team mid-season, they have made the playoffs every year, even pulled off the biggest upset in playoff history. Appreciate the classy send-off for him, seeing as another CBJ builder was unceremoniously canned this week.

I fully support this statement, but reverse the Wild and Avs. I'm so glad the Central West is consistent with our dislike of each other. Really cools the heart.

I don't recognize the guy to Torts' right (Manny Legace, maybe?), but Kenny McCudden is to his left and is normally the eye in the sky, so yeah, this is probably it.

My only wish is it would've been a happier ending, but I have few complaints otherwise given where this team was in 2015-16.

The only time in my life I ever thought a Cup was possible was when they went up 2-1 against Boston because, if they got through them, they were probably handling Carolina to win the East.

quote:

ESPN is out on Wayne Gretzky, paving the way for The Great One potentially going to TNT as an analyst for its NHL studio coverage, The Post has learned.

Gretzky’s role with TNT would be akin to Charles Barkley’s on “Inside The NBA.” If a deal is done, Gretzky, 60, is expected to command in the range of $5 million per year, according to sources. Turner has put the full-court press on for Gretzky by using Barkley, the Great One’s former neighbor in Arizona, as its chief recruiter, according to sources.
if TNT pays $5 million to Gretzky to be the Charles Barkley of the NHL they are incredibly dumb

Hey! They just beat the Lightning handily... without Kucherov, Hedman, or Stamkos. But the Panthers didn't have Verhaeghe or Hornqvist!

If they pay Gretzky five million and it gets Barkley commenting on games it'll be worth every penny.

Assuming it's the end, Torts goes out with a win and passes Keenan for 12th on the all-time win list. CBJ finish the season 3-1-3 in the last 7.

e- 12th.

I don’t think that’ll help.

Honestly, all the players that people want exposed and gone are probably not going to get taken. The Vegas draft was good evidence of this.

Ottawa's up to 9-2-1 since the trade deadline, and Timmy Stutzle had his first NHL hat trick tonight.

If this was an 82 game season I think they'd make it in, the way they've been playing lately.

I hope the East playoffs don’t start until the North finishes their regular season schedule. Ovechkin, Backstrom, Oshie, and Carlson are all injured and who knows when Kuznetsov will get off the COVID list.

Lars Eller played 27 minutes tonight lol.

Underwhelming first two seasons, missed all of last season with some migraine disorder. "Returned" this season but he's just so ineffectual you hardly know he's there. Probably a bust for a 2nd overall. Maybe a new locale and fresh start could help but the Flyers should move on. Also wouldn't be surprised if he's playing overseas in a few years.
